Ramsgate Overview

People have been escaping to the Isle of Thanet for more than 200 years, for the laidback seaside vibe, the breathtaking sandy beaches and fresh sea air, discovering a natural, relaxed and friendly place.

Visit Ramsgate with its stunning Royal Harbour, unique in England with heaps of history, naval and royal. The Maritime Museum, the old railway tunnel which now houses a wartime exhibition right on the seafront, deep in the cliff, and the Albion where Queen (then Princess) Victoria spent 6 months recovering from typhoid.

With a lively shopping area and regular traditional market, little cafes, friendly pubs (with live music on weekends, and every day in the summer), varied restaurants and a ‘café culture’ at the harbour-side – the perfect place for a relaxing time.

Explore further and you’ll find a cultural core, a wealth of creative residents and a blossoming arts scene with galleries and new businesses emerging. Various cultural events from sprint to autumn, including exhibitions and festivals, like the week long folk week.

In addition you can do water sports like canoeing, sailing and boat trips to visit the neighbouring seals at
